Hercules C1 Grammar Quest

Identify the correct mixed conditional:

• If Hercules had lost his strength, he won’t defeat the Titans now.
• If Hercules lost his strength, he will not defeat the Titans now.
• If Hercules had lost his strength back then, he wouldn’t be a hero now.
• If Hercules loses his strength, he wouldn’t have become a hero.

Explanation

A mixed conditional pairs a third conditional (past hypothetical: had lost his strength) with a second conditional outcome in the present (wouldn’t be a hero now).
